¹اما يسوع فرجع من الاردن ممتلئا من الروح القدس وكان يقتاد بالروح في البرية

¹And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, turned back from the Jordan, and was brought in the Spirit to the wilderness,

²اربعين يوما يجرّب من ابليس. ولم ياكل شيئا في تلك الايام ولما تمت جاع اخيرا.

²forty days being tempted by the Devil, and he did not eat anything in those days, and they having been ended, he afterward hungered,

³وقال له ابليس ان كنت ابن الله فقل لهذا الحجر ان يصير خبزا.

³and the Devil said to him, `If Son thou art of God, speak to this stone that it may become bread.`

⁴فاجابه يسوع قائلا مكتوب ان ليس بالخبز وحده يحيا الانسان بل بكل كلمة من الله.

⁴And Jesus answered him, saying, `It hath been written, that, not on bread only shall man live, but on every saying of God.`

⁵ثم اصعده ابليس الى جبل عال وأراه جميع ممالك المسكونة في لحظة من الزمان.

⁵And the Devil having brought him up to an high mountain, shewed to him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time,

⁶وقال له ابليس لك اعطي هذا السلطان كله ومجدهنّ لانه اليّ قد دفع وانا اعطيه لمن اريد.

⁶and the Devil said to him, `To thee I will give all this authority, and their glory, because to me it hath been delivered, and to whomsoever I will, I do give it;

⁷فان سجدت امامي يكون لك الجميع.

⁷thou, then, if thou mayest bow before me — all shall be thine.`

⁸فاجابه يسوع وقال اذهب يا شيطان انه مكتوب للرب الهك تسجد واياه وحده تعبد.

⁸And Jesus answering him said, `Get thee behind me, Adversary, for it hath been written, Thou shalt bow before the Lord thy God, and Him only thou shalt serve.`

⁹ثم جاء به الى اورشليم واقامه على جناح الهيكل وقال له ان كنت ابن الله فاطرح نفسك من هنا الى اسفل.

⁹And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, `If the Son thou art of God, cast thyself down hence,

¹⁰لانه مكتوب انه يوصي ملائكته بك لكي يحفظوك.

¹⁰for it hath been written — To His messengers He will give charge concerning thee, to guard over thee,

¹¹وانهم على اياديهم يحملونك لكي لا تصدم بحجر رجلك.

¹¹and — On hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou mayest dash against a stone thy foot.`

¹²فاجاب يسوع وقال له انه قيل لا تجرب الرب الهك.

¹²And Jesus answering said to him — `It hath been said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.`

¹³ولما اكمل ابليس كل تجربة فارقه الى حين

¹³And having ended all temptation, the Devil departed from him till a convenient season.

¹⁴ورجع يسوع بقوة الروح الى الجليل وخرج خبر عنه في جميع الكورة المحيطة.

¹⁴And Jesus turned back in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and a fame went forth through all the region round about concerning him,

¹⁵وكان يعلّم في مجامعهم ممجدا من الجميع

¹⁵and he was teaching in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

¹⁶وجاء الى الناصرة حيث كان قد تربى. ودخل المجمع حسب عادته يوم السبت وقام ليقرأ.

¹⁶And he came to Nazareth, where he hath been brought up, and he went in, according to his custom, on the sabbath-day, to the synagogue, and stood up to read;

¹⁷فدفع اليه سفر اشعياء النبي. ولما فتح السفر وجد الموضع الذي كان مكتوبا فيه

¹⁷and there was given over to him a roll of Isaiah the prophet, and having unfolded the roll, he found the place where it hath been written:

¹⁸روح الرب عليّ لانه مسحني لابشر المساكين ارسلني لاشفي المنكسري القلوب لانادي للمأسورين بالاطلاق وللعمي بالبصر وارسل المنسحقين في الحرية

¹⁸`The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon me, Because He did anoint me; To proclaim good news to the poor, Sent me to heal the broken of heart, To proclaim to captives deliverance, And to blind receiving of sight, To send away the bruised with deliverance,

¹⁹واكرز بسنة الرب المقبولة.

¹⁹To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.`

²⁰ثم طوى السفر وسلمه الى الخادم وجلس. وجميع الذين في المجمع كانت عيونهم شاخصة اليه.

²⁰And having folded the roll, having given [it] back to the officer, he sat down, and the eyes of all in the synagogue were gazing on him.

²¹فابتدأ يقول لهم انه اليوم قد تم هذا المكتوب في مسامعكم.

²¹And he began to say unto them — `To-day hath this writing been fulfilled in your ears;`

²²وكان الجميع يشهدون له ويتعجبون من كلمات النعمة الخارجة من فمه ويقولون أليس هذا ابن يوسف.

²²and all were bearing testimony to him, and were wondering at the gracious words that are coming forth out of his mouth, and they said, `Is not this the son of Joseph?`

²³فقال لهم. على كل حال تقولون لي هذا المثل ايها الطبيب اشفي نفسك. كم سمعنا انه جرى في كفر ناحوم فافعل ذلك هنا ايضا في وطنك.

²³And he said unto them, `Certainly ye will say to me this simile, Physician, heal thyself; as great things as we heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country;`

²⁴وقال الحق اقول لكم انه ليس نبي مقبولا في وطنه.

²⁴and he said, `Verily I say to you — No prophet is accepted in his own country;

²⁵وبالحق اقول لكم ان ارامل كثيرة كنّ في اسرائيل في ايام ايليا حين أغلقت السماء مدة ثلاث سنين وستة اشهر لما كان جوع عظيم في الارض كلها.

²⁵and of a truth I say to you, Many widows were in the days of Elijah, in Israel, when the heaven was shut for three years and six months, when great famine came on all the land,

²⁶ولم يرسل ايليا الى واحدة منها الا الى امرأة ارملة الى صرفة صيدا.

²⁶and unto none of them was Elijah sent, but — to Sarepta of Sidon, unto a woman, a widow;

²⁷وبرص كثيرون كانوا في اسرائيل في زمان اليشع النبي ولم يطهر واحد منهم الا نعمان السرياني.

²⁷and many lepers were in the time of Elisha the prophet, in Israel, and none of them was cleansed, but — Naaman the Syrian.`

²⁸فامتلأ غضبا جميع الذين في المجمع حين سمعوا هذا.

²⁸And all in the synagogue were filled with wrath, hearing these things,

²⁹فقاموا واخرجوه خارج المدينة وجاءوا به الى حافة الجبل الذي كانت مدينتهم مبنية عليه حتى يطرحوه الى اسفل.

²⁹and having risen, they put him forth without the city, and brought him unto the brow of the hill on which their city had been built — to cast him down headlong,

³⁰اما هو فجاز في وسطهم ومضى

³⁰and he, having gone through the midst of them, went away.

³¹وانحدر الى كفرناحوم مدينة من الجليل. وكان يعلّمهم في السبوت.

³¹And he came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the sabbaths,

³²فبهتوا من تعليمه لان كلامه كان بسلطان.

³²and they were astonished at his teaching, because his word was with authority.

³³وكان في المجمع رجل به روح شيطان نجس فصرخ بصوت عظيم

³³And in the synagogue was a man, having a spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a great voice,

³⁴قائلا آه ما لنا ولك يا يسوع الناصري. أتيت لتهلكنا. انا اعرفك من انت قدوس الله.

³⁴saying, `Away, what — to us and to thee, Jesus, O Nazarene? thou didst come to destroy us; I have known thee who thou art — the Holy One of God.`

³⁵فانتهره يسوع قائلا اخرس واخرج منه فصرعه الشيطان في الوسط وخرج منه ولم يضره شيئا.

³⁵And Jesus did rebuke him, saying, `Be silenced, and come forth out of him;` and the demon having cast him into the midst, came forth from him, having hurt him nought;

³⁶فوقعت دهشة على الجميع وكانوا يخاطبون بعضهم بعضا قائلين ما هذه الكلمة. لانه بسلطان وقوة يامر الارواح النجسة فتخرج.

³⁶and amazement came upon all, and they were speaking together, with one another, saying, `What [is] this word, that with authority and power he doth command the unclean spirits, and they come forth?`

³⁷وخرج صيت عنه الى كل موضع في الكورة المحيطة

³⁷and there was going forth a fame concerning him to every place of the region round about.

³⁸ولما قام من المجمع دخل بيت سمعان. وكانت حماة سمعان قد اخذتها حمّى شديدة. فسألوه من اجلها.

³⁸And having risen out of the synagogue, he entered into the house of Simon, and the mother-in-law of Simon was pressed with a great fever, and they did ask him about her,

³⁹فوقف فوقها وانتهر الحمّى فتركتها وفي الحال قامت وصارت تخدمهم.

³⁹and having stood over her, he rebuked the fever, and it left her, and presently, having risen, she was ministering to them.

⁴⁰وعند غروب الشمس جميع الذين كان عندهم سقماء بامراض مختلفة قدموهم اليه فوضع يديه على كل واحد منهم وشفاهم.

⁴⁰And at the setting of the sun, all, as many as had any ailing with manifold sicknesses, brought them unto him, and he on each one of them [his] hands having put, did heal them.

⁴¹وكانت شياطين ايضا تخرج من كثيرين وهي تصرخ وتقول انت المسيح ابن الله. فانتهرهم ولم يدعهم يتكلمون لانهم عرفوه انه المسيح

⁴¹And demons also were coming forth from many, crying out and saying — `Thou art the Christ, the Son of God;` and rebuking, he did not suffer them to speak, because they knew him to be the Christ.

⁴²ولما صار النهار خرج وذهب الى موضع خلاء وكان الجموع يفتشون عليه فجاءوا اليه وامسكوه لئلا يذهب عنهم.

⁴²And day having come, having gone forth, he went on to a desert place, and the multitudes were seeking him, and they came unto him, and were staying him — not to go on from them,

⁴³فقال لهم انه يبنغي لي ان ابشر المدن الأخر ايضا بملكوت الله لاني لهذا قد أرسلت.

⁴³and he said unto them — `Also to the other cities it behoveth me to proclaim good news of the reign of God, because for this I have been sent;`

⁴⁴فكان يكرز في مجامع الجليل

⁴⁴and he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
